Communities Unite to Call for Action on Red Bridge Replacement

Tomorrow, Kúkwpi7 Rosanne Casimir will join residents, businesses, community organizations, local governments, and regional partners to celebrate the Red Bridge and stand together in support of replacing it with a new bridge.

The loss of the Red Bridge continues to affect families, workers, businesses, emergency access, and transportation throughout the region. For generations, the bridge served as an important connection between communities, supporting economic activity, mobility, and regional growth.

“This gathering is about unity,” says Kúkwpi7 Rosanne Casimir. “The impacts of losing the Red Bridge are shared across our region. Together, we are calling on the Province to listen to our communities and commit to replacing this critical connection.”

As British Columbia approaches a potential Provincial election, rally participants are urging all provincial leaders and parties to commit to a clear timeline and funding. The message is simple: the Red Bridge is a regional priority. Rebuilding it will strengthen connectivity, support local businesses, improve public safety, and advance reconciliation through meaningful action.

Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc invites everyone to join us and the City of Kamloops tomorrow. Whether you are a resident, business owner, commuter, community leader, or supporter, your voice matters. Together, we can demonstrate the strength of our region and send a clear message that the time to act is now.

“The Red Bridge is more than infrastructure. It connects people, communities, and opportunities. When we stand together, our voices are stronger. We invite everyone to join us in unity as we call for action and a path forward for our region.”
